The Profits Of Maple Sugar Mailing
This apriun.


The prospect that farmers will become
suddenly rich this spring from the profits
of maple sugar making is rather poor. The
deep snow is likely to be a great hindronce
To- work i'm sugar lots. a great quantity OF
sugar is seldom made when the snow is very
deep at the beginning Of the season Be
sides though it may pay "A good profit to
make maple sugar in such form and of such
quality that it can be sold to be used for
purposes similar to that for which candy is
used or maple syrup of such quality that
it will sell in competition with honey. the
kind that has to be sold in competition with
cane sugar. now selling at retail at from
five to seven cents pound, will pay little,
ir anything, above the cost of making
Mr. A. NJ. Foster of Cabot, large man
ulacturer Of maple sugar and syrup, after
having kept an accurate account of all eN-
pcnses for several years, says that the cost
in one case when the year was favorable
was a fraction less than five cents pound,
while in one or two other years it cost him
nearly or quite twice that sum. He esti-
mated the fair average cost of making su-
gar in large sugar orchards, fitted up with
improved apparatus, at seven and one-half
cents pound This estimate was made a
few years ago, when labor was a little high
cr than now.
Another farmer, who says he has made a
pretty thorough investigation of the ex-
pense of making maple sugar, and who es-
Inmates wood at 81 per cord and labor at
what would be low rates for the present
season. finds the actual cost of making a
pound of sugar to be six cents. The cost
is proportionally more on small sugar places
than large ones and deep snow increases
the labor and generally diminishes the prod

With a temperature not long ago consid-
crably below zero, with the snow now Gov
ering the fences out of sight and piled high
ON the sides of the paths and roads, it
seems almost incredible that it is time for
the bluebirds and robins, that the swallows
may be here in little more than month,
and that grain has sometimes been sown
two or three weeks later. We have heard
the frogs as early as the 25th of March,
and in several instances we have seen bees
coming into the hives With their legs load
ed with pollen, the last days of this month.
Hepaticas and trailing arbutus are some
times in blossom about two weeks later.
But these seasons are somewhat exceptional,
as was the spring of 1862, when the snow
was four feet deep on the 18th day of April
and heavily loaded teams could pass over
the fences on the crust and go in the lots
with safety

character This is illustrated by recent
remark Of Brother Cheever, after making
a second visit tn northeastern Maine.
GIVE u.s. SAYS he "a few more such ex
cursious into the Maine woods and farm
life may yet become popular even in the
old Bay state. Persons who desire 10 fol
low agriculture as a profession and imag
inc that their own section whatever that
may he, is not the right place to settle,
should take note that Aroostook county,
which is only twenty four hours from one
of the hest markets in the whole country,
is on the same degrees of latitude that pass
through central Michigan, Wisconsin,. Da-

localities none Of us think Of as being very

Special to the Globe

Special to the Globe
DULUTH. Mimi, Dec. 23.-Wheat was quiet
to-day and part of the time very much neg
lected. Prices were held steadily and at the
close the tone of the market was strong.
Other markets. like ours, were all of holt
day character and outside news was very
scarce. There were no new features. The
falling off of the Northwest movement I'M
doubleday contributes to the present strength
of the market. The falling off is generally
attributed to the storm and is especially no.
ticeable at Minneapolis. where only $1,000
bu were received yesterday. Duluth receipts
are holding up better, but it is said that wheat
is turning to Minneapolis again. Such mar
kets as Toledo and Detroit report the demand
from interior millers as good, prices keeping
above other places on that account.
Most buying here is on orders from
Chicago Cash wheat, No. l hard,
sold at 76c and No. 1 Northern at 72e, and
these were the prices at the close. December
sold at 76c and closing 76Isc, nominally at
76c. Trading in this month was fair. jan
uary was neglected. 1t sold and closed at
76ssc. May opened at S5ssc with little trad
ing, dropped to S3l4c, where there was good
demand, improved to S3l7c, where 1t closed.

at the close. Afternoon board-The market
was very quiet. May sold down to SSssc,
where it closed. Chicago closed: January,
